About
An operator who still has a shop to run.
Jeremy Brakenhoff
Jeremy lives and works in Lawrence, Kansas. He is the founder and CEO of OWNx, a precious-metals platform for physical gold, silver, and platinum — including recurring purchase and EDGE membership.
He founded Mass Metal LLC in 2008. Mass Metal’s SilverSaver service landed on the Inc. 5000. That history is here so it is clear this is not a first-time consultant shop. It is not here to merge the two companies. OWNx is OWNx. This firm is Ascendent Strategies.
The voice of the work is direct, calm, and long-horizon. Integrity first. Commentary last.
